Engineer-For-A-Day……Create a New World!
Dear Student:
The Washkewicz College of Engineering at Cleveland State University invites you to learn
what engineering is all about by participating in the 2016 Engineer-For-A-Day Job Shadowing
Program on Friday, February 26, 2016. This event is open to students in grades 9-12 who are
seriously interested in the engineering profession. The program enables you to spend a day on the
job with an engineer to learn about an engineering field that interests you.
To participate in this event please complete a “Student Registration Form” no later than
Friday, January 22, 2016. Register online at www.csuohio.edu/fennacademy. Go to
“Engineer For A Day” to complete the electronic registration form and hit “submit”.
You may learn more about a variety of engineering fields by going to the American Society of
Engineering Education (ASEE) website at www.egfi-k12.org.
Students who have pre-registered and been notified of acceptance are required to attend
the orientation meeting described below. The meeting will include useful information to help
you prepare for the job shadowing experience. In addition, we will provide free parking, an
available tour of the Washkewicz College of Engineering, a continental breakfast and lunch. A
prize raffle will also be held.

school may be limited to give as many students as possible an
opportunity to participate. 11th & 12th graders will be placed first.
Effort will be made to assign you to an organization near your home, however consideration will
first be given to the compatibility between your engineering field of interest (mechanical,
electrical/computer, civil/environmental, chemical/biomedical, or other areas) and the
availability of engineering volunteers. Placements may be limited or changed due to the number of
available sponsoring employers.
Students must indicate a first, second and third choice for job shadowing assignments on
the registration form and be willing to be assigned to any of those choices. Parents and
students are advised that you are making a commitment by registering and that employers are
making special plans to accommodate student visits based upon your registration. Please check
